OPENING PRAYER

 Let us put ourselves in the loving presence of the Lord.

 Altogether, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, AMEN.
 PRAYER FOR PEACE
 Please repeat after me.

 Lord Jesus, / we come to you in our need./ Create in us an awareness / of the massive forces
of conflict/ that threaten our world today.//
 And grant us a sense of urgency/ to activate the forces of goodness, / of justice, / of love,/ and
of peace.//
 Where there is armed conflict,/ let us stretch out our arms to our brothers and sisters.//
 Where there is abundance,/ let there be simple lifestyle and sharing.//
 Where there is poverty, / let there be dignified living / and constant striving for just
structures.//
 Where there is selfish ambition,/ let there be humble service.//
 Where there is injustice,/ let there be atonement.//
 Where there is despair,/ let there be hope in the Good News.//
 Where there are wounds of division,/ let there be unity and wholeness.//
 Help us to be committed/ to the building of your kingdom,/ not seeking to be cared for / but
to care; /not expecting to be served/ but to place ourselves in the service of the others;/ not
aspiring to be materially secure/ but to place our security in Your love.//
 Teach us Your spirit, / for it is only in loving imitation of You, Lord, / that we can discover /
the healing springs of life / that will bring about new birth to our earth / and hope for the
world.// Amen.//
 Our Lady, Queen of Peace./ (All: Pray for us.)

PRAYER TO SAN ROQUE

 Please repeat after me.
 Oh, great San Roque, deliver us, / we beseech thee from the Scourges of God.//
 Through thy intercession,/ preserve our bodies from contagious disease,/ and our soul
from the contagion of sins.//
 Assist us to make good use of health,/ to bear suffering with patience,/ and after thy
example/ to live in the practice of penance and charity,/ that we may one day enjoy
happiness which thou had merited/ by thy virtues./ Amen.//

worthy to be our model.//
